Used k60 question

09-21-2011, 11:04 PM

I just won the bid on a used k60 on eBay. It looks like it was barely used and comes with 90ft of 7/8 cable and a few cutters for $700. Well after I win the bid the seller emails me and says he just plugged it in to check before he ships it and it doesn't work. He said he is taking it to a repair shop to find out what's wrong. I have never owned a k60 and don't know anyone who has one. So my question to the k60 guys on the forum is should I still buy it. Have you guys had motors seized up and not repairable or other things to stay away from. Just wondering if I'm just better of buying a band new one.

something tells me they didn't get the price they wanted and are trying to back out of the deal.

the tool is pretty much spotless based on the 12 photos.

let them make good on it plus you have ebay guarantee with original shipping price too.

put it on your cc and paypal.

i can't see how it goes from the description to the their response in a week.

stick with it and see what they do.

I agree with Rick that the guy is probably trying to be slick and get you to back out so that he can relist it. Tool sellers on ebay are notorious for this kind of crap. If you do all of the payment through paypal with a credit card, you should be covered, but make sure that you get documentation.

Or just cancel and order a new machine from Marvin!

Well it looks like you guys where right. I sent him several emails to find out if he got it fixed and haven't gotten a reply. He must of expected to sell it for a lot more. I saw he sold one just like it a few months ago for $1200. I guess I'll be calling Marvin to get a price on a new one.

Hey guys just had a quick question I just bought a k60 off ebay at a decent price and I haven't received it yet, should be here middle of next week. anyhow looking back at the pictures of my "new machine" I noticed now that the brace from the jaw housing that goes out and down the the from is either gone or broken off hard to tell. I'm thinkin it may have gotten dropped or something. I"ve been "reassured" the clutch and bearings all are in great shape. I just wanted to know if I need this support arm looking deal or not. Otherwise to replace it looks like I have to buy the whole jaw housing assembly.
Let me know because the guys got another one of these and I may be able to work something out.
Thanks
